Day 1:Finding Support in an Academic Writer’s Group
December 2, 2009
Our Journey as Members of an Academic Writer’s Group:
A brief history of the facilitators’ experiences in a two year-long academic writer’s group and how members of the writer’s group recommitted to writing daily, increased productivity, and advanced their craft as academic writers.
Join us on Wednesday, December 2 at 10:15am in the Picuris Room for our related Roundtable Discussion titled, Academic Writing Retreat: A Time for Rejuvenated and Focused Writing.
